Chapter Seventy-Seven: Tangled
According to the observation of his subordinates and Zhang Dong's words, the old man attaches great importance to Lin Xiaozhu, praises him many times, and loves him a lot. Before leaving, he specially prescribed medicine for her, and personally grabbed thirty pairs of medicines, and asked Zhang Dong to decoct her on time every day to adjust her body. It is not an exaggeration to say that he treats Lin Xiaozhu like his own granddaughter. The old man was upright and selfless all his life, he never sought personal interests for himself, and his prestige was extremely high, and the kings and people of the four kingdoms all surrendered. The subordinates thought that if the son returned Lin Xiaozhu's deed of sale to her and let her live a free and prosperous life, the old man would be very happy. The old man is happy, and the big thing that the son is planning may be able to get his help. Even if it's biased towards Childe to say a sentence or two, it's good. ”
"The old man has been honest and selfless all his life, how can he interfere in my country's internal affairs and help me because of Lin Xiaozhu? You're thinking too well. Yuan Tianye shook his head.
"Even if you don't help, it's better to sell him a favor than to make him dissatisfied, isn't it?" Yuan Er raised his eyes, looked at Childe, and said cautiously, "It's just a little girl, and letting her go won't cause any loss to Childe." On the contrary, it made the old man remember a favor, and this transaction was very cost-effective. ”
Seeing Gongzi staring at the verdant bamboo outside the door, he didn't speak for a long time, Yuan Er was worried in his heart, and he didn't know if he had said something wrong. You know, Childe has always been extremely smart, and he has no worries. With such a simple truth, how could Childe not understand it? Then why is Childe still pensive and hesitant for a long time to make up his mind? Could it be that there is something deeper in this that I didn't think of?
It seems that the difference between himself and his son is not a star and a half!
Yuan Tianye lowered his eyes and reached out to pick up the teacup again. took a sip of the slightly cold tea, and then it was like making up his mind, and he said, "Lin Xiaozhu is still young, not yet thirteen years old. Let her out, what does she do for a living, and how can she protect herself? Since the old man didn't have any hints, he took the liberty of letting her out, if something happened, how would we explain to the old man? I think it's better to leave it at that. After two or three years, she grew up. Slowly draw it again. ”
Yuan Er wrinkled his brows, thinking about it for a long time, but he still didn't understand. Finally raised his eyes and looked at Childe suspiciously, hoping that Childe could solve his doubts.
Childe's words. How could he not understand? What if Lin Xiaozhu is still young? Childe is fifteen years old, and he is doing big things in the world, and Lin Xiaozhu is so smart. What's so difficult to feed yourself if you still cook a good dish? Let her live in Qingxi Town, within the protection of her own people, what else is there to worry about? Again. Worried that she would have no means of life and would not be able to protect herself. Recruit her into that restaurant, whether it's a cook, or half an owner, won't it solve all the problems? What I have to do here is just an attitude of letting Lin Xiaozhu go free. After two or three years, the daylily will be cold! The domestic situation has been decided, even if you have the favor of the old man, what is the use? What's more, two or three years later, the old man still doesn't remember Lin Xiaozhu as a person. Again, two words. What better place to strike while the iron is hot?
Seeing Yuan Er's puzzled gaze, Yuan Tianye put down the teacup. stood up and shouted, "Yuan Shi." "Yuan Shidao who came in response to the voice." I'm going out for a walk. After speaking, he threw Yuan Er, who was full of confusion, into the house and went out of the door.
"Childe, Childe......" has been with Childe for ten years, and Yuan Er has never encountered such a thing as being left halfway by Childe. If you don't understand something, you don't know it when you do it, and it's easy to make mistakes if you don't count it in your heart. Therefore, if you don't understand something, you must ask clearly, and you must not be a fool. That's what Childe said! But today, what's going on?
Yuan Tianye obviously didn't want to explain to him, and when he heard his shout, he didn't hear it, and with Yuan Shi, he disappeared in an instant!
"Forget it, if you don't let it go, it's not a big deal. Even if it's a big deal, with a son here, what do I care? Yuan Er muttered a few words dissatisfied, and went back to Qingxi Town.
"Childe, where are we going?" Yuan Shi followed behind Yuan Tianye, and when he saw that Gongzi was walking vigorously, the direction of his way turned out to be the courtyard where the girl lived, and he couldn't help but ask a question to remind him. There are not a few girls who commit nymphomaniacs against their sons. Since finding out the temperament of these children, Childe has deliberately avoided them and no longer meets those girls. Now he is walking to the girl's bedroom, he won't think about the problem and get fascinated, and go the wrong way, right?
Sure enough, hearing the reminder, Childe stopped. But before Yuan Shi could speak again, Gongzi walked forward again, but his pace slowed down a lot, and he was no longer in a hurry as he was just now, as if he was in a hurry about something.
The gate of the courtyard was open, and there was a "whoosh" splash of water from inside. The childe who was walking in front slowed down his steps and walked in slowly.
Following Gongzi's gaze, Yuan Shi looked into the courtyard and saw Lin Xiaozhu fetching water in the yard. I don't know if it's because she's in the development period or if she's eating well during this time, she's a little taller than when she first came, and she used to wear a somewhat fat and slightly long dress on her body, which is just right at this time. Although the flat figure is not as beautiful as other girls, it is also slender and full of vitality. At this time she was lifting the bucket up from the well, and the autumn morning sun shone on the water stains on the well platform, and then reflected on her face, and the eyelashes appeared black and long, fluttering like the beautiful wings of a butterfly; The bridge of the nose looks unusually straight in the sunlight. Her expression was focused, and the cute little mouth that was usually okay to smile was pursed tightly because of the force, which made the thin and weak little girl show a kind of perseverance and strength that did not match her age and figure. That little body is full of vitality and seems to have accumulated infinite strength, as if no matter what difficulties can be defeated, no matter what things are difficult for her!
Although the well platform and the ground had been washed clean at this time, Lin Xiaozhu did not stop, and still threw the wooden bucket into the well with a "bang", skillfully threw the rope, filled the water, lifted the bucket, and rushed the water to the well platform with a "bang". Throw down the bucket with a "bang" and continue to play the next bucket. Looking at it like that, it seemed that she would not give up until the water in the well was drained.
Seeing Gongzi standing behind a tree, he stared at Lin Xiaozhu quietly, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his lips were pursed as tightly as Lin Xiaozhu, as if he had encountered some kind of problem, and he couldn't solve it. Yuan Shi hurriedly concentrated and hid his figure in the shadow of the tree, for fear of disturbing Lin Xiaozhu who was fetching water over there and the son who was in a daze here.
It wasn't until Lin Xiaozhu had enough water, straightened up, hammered his waist with his small fist, slowly walked back to the house, and closed the door with a "ah" that Yuan Tianye seemed to wake up from meditation, turned around, and walked towards the courtyard gate regardless of Yuan Shi.
Yuan Shi glanced at Lin Xiaozhu's closed door and hurriedly followed.
Yuan Tianye did not go back to his yard, but walked forward along the alley, until he walked out of the gate of the villa, and then turned right and walked towards the side of the mountain.
"......" Yuan Shi opened his mouth, wanting to remind him that it was a place for girls to practice, but after thinking about it, he still closed his mouth. Childe is a little weird today, there should be something undecided, so it's better not to disturb him. As for how those girls will react when they see Childe, that's nothing. At most, it's a little desertion, looking at Childe like a nymphomaniac, or making a gesture in order to get Childe's attention, and then start dreaming unrealistically, and that's it.
Sure enough, after walking a short distance, I saw a cyan dress dancing in front of me in the autumn sun. The girls followed the teaching, punching one move at a time, and the soft figures that began to develop were bathed in the morning sun, full of youth and vitality. Watching them boxing is completely different from watching Lin Xiaozhu in the yard just now. This side is like a cluster of blooming delicate flowers, swaying in the sun; Lin Xiaozhu is like a straight green pine, vigorous and powerful, but not soft enough.
Yuan Tianye didn't come closer, just stood and watched from a distance for a while, then let out a long sigh of relief, turned around and said to Yuan Shi: "Go back." ”
"Yes." Yuan Shi's heart was happy. It seems that Childe has finally solved the problem. That's good, that's good! Otherwise, I would be so nervous that I didn't dare to breathe.
Back in the courtyard, Yuan Tianye said, "You go, call Master Ma." ”
"Yes." Yuan Shi ran out again. After a while, he entered the door with Ma Jiaoxi.
Ma Jiaoxi saw Gongzi standing by the pond, the fifteen-year-old boy began to grow up, he looked unusually tall, he was slightly excited in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute: "I've seen Gongzi." ”
Yuan Tianye turned around and looked at Ma Jiaoxi. He figured things out, and his dark eyes looked radiant in the morning light. He bent the corners of his mouth slightly, said hello to Ma Jiaoxi, and said, "I called you here to ask you, Lin Xiaozhu apologized to you yesterday, what else do you have in your heart?" ”
Ma Jiaoxi was stunned, he didn't expect Gongzi to call him, and he actually asked Lin Xiaozhu about it. He glanced up at Yuan Tianye and said, "My subordinates don't have any thoughts about her. This kid is very smart and very perceptive. It's just that her subordinates are still worried that after a month, she won't be able to lift the spoon. If you can't turn the spoon, no matter how smart you are, you can't be a good cook. When the time comes, she will have to change shifts. If Childe is for her good, it is better to let her go to another class now, otherwise she will be a month behind others and she will not be able to keep up with anything, wouldn't it hurt her? ”
